Landslides

"The causes of landslides are not a mystery to mankind. Layers of rock and soil such that rain running along a clay or rock layer can create a slippery surface for the weight of the layers above it is a common cause. A rock jumble from previous mountain building, broken or fractured rock easily dislodged. We have stated that the earthquakes man experiences between the periodic passages of Planet X can be considered aftershocks from the last passage, and this is true of landslides also. Mountain building rumples the landscape, so the land is not flat but has steep ravines and hill sides. Older mountain ranges are recognized for their rounded or smoothed appearance, because of frequent landslides distributing the rubble.

"As we approach another passage, another Pole Shift, the pace of landslides has picked up. Why would this be? Plates under pressure will put pressure on regions that contain rumpled hillsides and deep ravines, as these give more readily than strictly flat land, thus act as a weak link. In addition, due to the wobble, the weather has gotten more extreme, with drought and deluge increasing in extremes. Dry ground, suddenly flooded with rainwater needing to seek its level as runoff, will create internal water slides between the rock and soil layers that constitute the rumpled hillsides. Is there an early warning system that mankind could use? The trembles that soil about to slide emits could be detected, yes. These are not earthquakes, and have their own frequency. "

The huge mountain rock rolled down and caused a two-way break. The estimated amount of collapse was more than 30,000 square meters. In this landslide, the rescuers of the municipal road and bridge maintenance group promptly and decisively broke the road to ensure the safety of the people and property. Let’s take a look at the scene of the landslide of the aerial photography of the drone. The mountain has collapsed in a large area.

PM, Meulaboh - As long as approximately 100 meters of the cliff of the Krueng Woyla river in Blang Cot Rubek, Woyla Barat, West Aceh village collapsed due to widespread erosion. Residents around began to worry about the collapse of the river cliff until it approached the highway.

The local village apparatus, Anwar said, the collapse of the river cliff had occurred since a few weeks ago, but only a few. The banks of the river began to erode back to dropping a plot of land overgrown with bamboo trees.

As many as 17 families are facing serious threat due to continuous landslide from the cliff above human settlement at Beni municipality-4, Surkemela village. The disaster has prompted the vulnerable families to seek safe shelter at the homes of relatives and neighbours. The mudslide from the hill of Beni municipality-3 to human settlement located in the bottom has posed a menace to the families. Besides, the landslide-triggered flood has initiated eroding the residential area, increasing further risks to the local dwellers.

ILOILO CITY — Six families in the upland and far-flung village of Igcatambor, Miag-ao, Iloilo temporarily moved to an evacuation center over fears of possible landslides in the area.

In an interview Tuesday, Ronan John Austria, head of the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (MDRRMO), said that Mayor Macario Napulan ordered the “forced evacuation of these families on Sunday as a preemptive measure.”

“There are some areas in the barangay (village) that have cracks on the soil. While there has been no landslide yet, the order of the mayor is for the safety of the residents,” he said.

Austria said some of these families, composed of more or less 30 individual residents, evacuated to the Igcatambor Elementary School while others decided to stay with their relatives in nearby villages.

He said they continue to monitor the area, along with other villages in their town. “The upland villages of our town are prone to landslide when there is rain, be it not really heavy but sustained or continuous rain,” he said.

Austria said personnel of the Mines and Geosciences Bureau 6 (Western Visayas) are expected to visit Igcatambor within the day to check the area where the ground cracks were found.

“They will clarify things out. They will check the situation and the possibility of landslide,” he added.Austria said they will lay down their plans for the area based on the recommendation of MGB-6.
